Australian attorney Bill Morgan shared his views on the ongoing Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit on Twitter, stating that XRP cannot be classified as a security. He explained that if the judge rules that Ripple's sales of XRP to On-Demand Liquidity customers are not investment contracts, XRP would not be categorized as a security. Morgan also noted that digital assets could transition from being securities to non-securities based on economic reality, technology, the law, and the asset's legal classification in other jurisdictions. He further explained that the sale of XRP to ODL customers does not conform to the elements of the Howey Test, meaning that it cannot form an investment contract.

Vitalik: The ultimate decision on the success of cryptocurrency is the practical application of technology
Vitalik, the co-founder of Ethereum, recently stated on the "Bell Curve" podcast that the actual application of technology determines the success or failure of cryptocurrency. If cryptocurrency can become mainstream, or at least a trusted alternative like Linux, then it can be considered a success.For example, Ethereum accounts can replace social account logins, or cryptocurrency can become a part of the financial system, DAO can become an alternative for enterprises or non-profit organizations, and decentralized social media or prediction markets can succeed.On the other hand, if the cryptocurrency field is remembered as a group of idealists gradually decreasing their cries, or a group of people trading digital monkeys and celebrity photos, it would be a disappointing result. -
